Treatment with cynaropicrin inhibits M2 macrophage polarisation. YM1 levels in BALF (A and B) of healthy mice (n = 8), vehicle-treated HDM-exposed mice (n = 16) and HDM-exposed mice treated with cynaropicrin (n = 8) during (left) and after (right) induction of allergic lung inflammation. The number of YM1 + Mac3 + macrophages (C and D) in lungs of healthy mice (n = 8), vehicle-treated HDM-exposed mice (n = 16) and HDM-exposed mice treated with cynaropicrin (n = 8) during (left) and after (right) induction of allergic lung inflammation. Representative pictures of the YM1 + Mac3 + double staining are shown in the bottom. Nuclear counter staining was not used to maximize visibility of double-positive cells (magnification 200x). Inserts are close up magnifications (magnification 400x) of double-positive cells. Significance was tested using a one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparisons test comparing healthy vs. HDM + vehicle and HDM + vehicle vs. HDM + cynaropicrin.
